How do I rent a wheelchair for Hajj rituals?

Wheelchair rental services are widely available at Masjid al-Haram. Authorized providers operate near the main entrances, offering manual wheelchairs and electric scooters for rental by the hour or by the ritual. For tawaf specifically, you can hire an operator to push you in a wheelchair around the Kaaba — this typically costs 100-200 SAR per tawaf session, though prices fluctuate during peak Hajj days.

The Haram administration also provides free wheelchair assistance through dedicated services for elderly and disabled pilgrims. The mataf (tawaf area) has a designated wheelchair lane on the ground floor, and the upper floors are fully accessible via ramps and elevators. The sa'i corridor between Safa and Marwa is also wheelchair-accessible. In Mina and Arafat, wheelchair accessibility varies — discuss your specific needs with your Hajj operator in advance to ensure proper arrangements.
